Wilfred Middlebrook in his newspaper serialisation Highways And Byways In Warminster in the Wiltshire Times, Friday 22nd April 1960 noted:
Across the road [Boreham Road] from Chain Lane is Chancery Lane, a footpath leading from Boreham Road to Woodcock. Chancery Lane was once known as Eacott Lane; an old coaching inn on the corner being kept by the Eacott family. This was before the advent of the railway, and coaches used to call at this inn, the Rising Sun, after passing through the turnpike at Holly Lodge. A great-grandson of the Eacotts, still living in Warminster, relates that the land and property got into the hands of the brewers; Frank Morgan pulling down the old inn and building Highbury on the site for his own residence.
